How does this rate on the sleeper scale of 1-10

[cptsideways]

Just about completed my new car for the 2010 Drift season, for the next week she's in full on grandad spec sleeper mode

I've been running about putting some miles on it to check everything, she is now taxed & mot'd

I reckon in its current tempory guise she's quite a sleeper :biggrin: Have had a few laughs the first few days on the road so far - great fun it is


About 500 horses lurking under there thanks to the large hoover

To the untrained eye, looks like a decomissioned taxi, but to my eyes..

Good work!

[ZesPak]

me like! very awesome!

500hp you said?

[OllieWinchester]

Where do you find things like this for sale? Standard I mean. I like the idea of a (reasonably) easy and reliable 3-400 bhp in something like that.

Post a few more pics dude, looks pretty unassuming from what can be seen, good work.

9 1/2...
back wheels give a hint.
Nice motor though, I have a couple of old hoovers like that in the garage somewhere, no idea what they came off, will have to dig them out.

Pfft like 1; that turbo is a total give-away...

Awesome, and yea people who don't get cars, wouldent realise, so 9 on the sleeper front. Although the rims will give it away a lil to people who don't know much, most people who know nothing still notice rims. And i doubt it will be quite, haha!

First thing i noticed was the cage on the A pillars, then the safety cut out on the wing..

worst "my car is cooler than yours" thread ever

[cptsideways]

I would cruise it around on the original 185 15's but they dont fit the big brakes otherwise yes I would be running them

I've just picked up another one, it arrives today standard as a standard thing like this one was 3 months ago, they randomly came in from Japan as imports, god knows why, though they did make a 2.5TT version though they are all auto's, no manual ones available from the factory you have to convert them.

The day it arrived at mine


Nickson Motorsport fixed this into it


Which I then refitted the interior round


Removed the old lump & painted the bay while there


Screwed this into it


And lots of other JDM goodies


Almost ready to roll

Am I the only one that thinks even pre-mods, that would make quite a cool daily driver? I like it rather a lot

[hooperpride]

superb

[BalhamBadger]

Put the original wheels back on and it definitely qualifies as a 10/10 sleeper.

[scarebus]

Wow very cool, perhaps a taxi sign on the roof would take the biscuit!

Like he said, he would, but they couldn't accommodate the brakes...

No problem. Just put the original brakes back on. If they can't handle the power, just take off the engine mods so it's less powerful.

Job jobbed.
